Introduction
A solution worthy of the Empire State.
In April 2016, JDS Development Group responded to the RFQ for Penn Station. Through the development of a new district that we call Empire Crossing, we create the revenue streams needed to make our plan a reality. Our Empire Crossing proposal not only solves the problems with today’s Penn Station, but is a forward-thinking plan for growth. It is the restoration of our faith in being able to collectively solve bigger problems...A solution worthy of the “Empire State.”

6-Point Plan
- Intended design capacity of Penn Station: 40,000 people per hour
- As of 2015, Penn Station is 62.5% over design capacity: operating at 65,000 pph and is near its breaking point.
- By 2032, it is forecast that peak demand will be 150,000 pph or 375% over the original design capacity. This proposal meets this critical demand…
Through the development of a new district that creates the revenue streams needed to make it a reality. A district we call...Empire Crossing.
